Congress demands RSS be named in FIR after Kerala engineer’s suicide alleging abuse

The Congress has on Monday demanded that the RSS be named in the FIR following a Kerala software engineer’s alleged suicide over claims of sexual abuse.

Addressing a press conference today, Congress leader Pawan Khera condemned the administration for omitting the RSS from the FIR despite explicit allegations. He raised concerns about child safety at RSS camps and accused the group of hiding abuse behind cultural nationalism. Khera also criticized the political protection RSS enjoys due to its ties with the current government and called for a thorough, impartial investigation, naming RSS explicitly.
